did they announce any new ships?

Wait did they announced the financials when I wasn't looking?

No but they announced that they'll be doing in-depth weekly break-downs of DIRECT progress.

Esperia Prowler ($380 LTI): :
Of internal schedules. Sure it sounds good in paper, but we already know their modus operandi. If they continue to update it properly, all it will tell us is if they are behind by a few weeks.
Being open is telling us that 3.0 has no chance of release this year right now and that 2.6 needs to have a test schedule thats tighter than anything they've done so far for it to be ready this year.

i guess this is the only new ship reveal for today? i thought they mentioned a few reveals in the beginning of the stream.
that looks so slick. $50... that bad.

It's possible, I missed the early bit.
They've redesigned of few of the older ships like 300i and Cutlass Black.

You can tell that to yourself by looking at that internal schedule, unless you want some sort of personal message by royal mail with an apology cupcake.
It's done. Shit on them and move on.

The internal scheduling has 2.6 at December 8th. I'm pretty sure that counts as saying 3.0 isn't hitting this year.

Lol, sold out already. These are warbond versions too.

Yeah, looking forward to the Youtube version for better audio. They keep clipping due to too much bass.

Hoo boy, 800 more Idris-P being sold. I should check to see how the concierge forum is holding up. Then again, maybe not... I kind of value my sanity tonight.
Thanks for explaining, mom! I see now that silly cosmetic items without any gameplay relevance whatsoever for a released game and delayed updates are indicative of the dev "hanging by the hairs of their balls".
Well, those are interesting at least. Can we have more of that? Of course, my inner cynic's take is slightly more sceptic: Here's our internal roadmap for our next point-update that's been supposed to be out by several months months and we give it to you, because you're our all important community. Has nothing to do with us sensing mutiny in the paying community. You don't mind if we keep less fine grained roadmap from here to the eventual Squadron 42 or PU release for ourselves. We really don't like to have to announce delays and if you never knew what the roadmap was to begin with, we will never have to announce them.
Catching half a million USD in a limited time sale from a single ship... amazing.

No problem, bub. Just refrain from making hyperbolic statements based on tales from your ass. You'll be fine!

Star Marine looks good. if they're ever in need of cash they can just port over Arena Commander and Star Marine for the consoles right? and it seems that some of the cryengine prompts are out in 2.6
current laptops look more futuristic than the ones in the game lol

It looks like a very generic, boilerplate FPS with bad character movement and animations I was hoping those'd get an upgrade because it's supposed to be 30% of SQ42.
None of the cover system or movement stuff we've been hearing was supposed to be in since 2.2, no gadgets, and the lag was really bad - someone died because a player ran past him, and someone else just floated in place while someone shot him over and over to no effect. And this is on a LAN.
Also the map was overly dark and it was genuinely hard to see players half the time. If it wasn't in Star Citizen it'd have Jim Sterling mocking it.

I'm glad they had something to show but what about that actually looked like a fun thing to play?

By itself, as in, a lone deathmatch, it's full of jank. Here's hoping it gets all ironed out according to the timeline.
I'm out. See you all in December for the SQ42 sweating.

Unless they were running a custom server there, they'd still be connecting out to the cloud. This isn't P2P multiplayer.

Sure they could. They could give us financials. They could let us see all their perforce logs. They could let us watch the screens of individual employees.

... what?
edit: anyone making a thread now that there is videos , concept art (prowler, tevarins...), letter from the chairman about the new production schedules being shared and more?

Kobayashi Maru is not a good analogy to CIG's situation.
Meeting the deadlines that CIG previously set would result in them winning this scenario.
It is masterful how the metrics for progress have now been redefined.
I sure as hell hope that benchmarks that were marked as complete in the past, suddenly don't reappear at a later date.
An example of this could be the flight model, which, although once complete, is now being revamped.

It's kind of funny. I was dead set against the Prowler because it was supposed to be a boarding ship, but now that it turned out to be more of a dropship, I'm contemplating picking it up.
Originally I was going to assign that role to the Retaliator with the dropship module. Rather, it was the only reason I picked up the Retaliator in the first place. I have no desire to fly a large bomber, but I love the looks of it, so the dropship module was the perfect solution. Now there's this thing with a large drop capacity and much more suited to tight drops/extractions. On the flip side I'd lose the cargo drop capacity. Decisions, decisions.
Edit: Decision made: Retaliator out; Prowler in.

Nah, although it's good stuff I don't think it's really significant enough for general interest. No harm in it, of course.
Probably wouldn't fit. It's a bit bigger and seats two.

The Tevarin look bad ass.
Oh, I'll refrain from talking about what Roberts made out to be a better than CoD and tactical as Arma shooter, but the turns out to be an okay looking arena shooter with a bit of zero Z sections thrown in for good measure, that seems to mainly distinguish itself from CoD by the higher TTK but looked otherwise about just as tactical from the footage I watched.
But it's going P(T)U this year if their elaborate internal roadmap for the 2.6 update (and precious little else) is reliable, yay! Im personally most thankful about not having to suffer through the godawful headbob anymore.
What's the news about Squadron 42?
Have not talked about it. We'll get a demo probably on the second stream in December. Last year it was on 16 of December.
----
Star Marine video on the site looks way better than things we saw on the stream ;p
Though performance still drops heavily, but its not finished of course.
